The leaf blower that I must build

techie1961 · Nov 17, 2015

Have a look at this. I love it.:thThumbsU It's a huge blower mounted to the front of a JD powered off the front PTO.

thats bad!!!

Bet the neighbor across the street loves him.

Ok, what do we need to make one? How many rpm is that front drive shaft?

That's awesome

rabbitking61 · Nov 17, 2015

That should make raking leaves a lot easier!

Dag gone! That sucker moves some leaves!

I was wondering where the spare gas turbine went.

990Guy · Nov 18, 2015

Wonder how much he wants for it, or at least the plans. I think we all could use one...
Anyone else notice the JD logo on the truck w/ trailer that's slowly backing away as he blows the leaves? Must be the representative he called about an idea for a new attachment. The fact that it blows sticks as well as leaves must have worried him.

I wonder how OSHA would react to those being used in lawn care businesses...

If he lived across the street from me, I'd be in prison for life...due to premeditated homicide. I HATE leaf blowers and the noise they produce. Talk about ruin your neighbors' weekend...especially if you obsess on it and run the darned thing non-stop for a few hours.

:sidelaugh The city probably wants a word with him too, they tend to get cranky about debris being blown onto the street.

Wonder if any of the neighborhood kids were hiding in the leaf pile? If so, they're probably at the landfill by now.

You think he'd have to run this one that long?

Grain bin aeration fan spinning about 3400 rpm, connected to the front pto.

I thought that looked like a JD truck too.

Keep in mind that not everyone likes the sound of our Deeres either. :dunno:
They sound sweet to us but...

Well, especially NOT with a leaf jet turbine blower attached to it...I love the gas-powered Kohler's, but they are way noisier than my JD 430 with Yanmar diesel. To me, all leaf blowers sound like a ****** off weedeater being over-revved in a big coffee can.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Ten minutes and done.:thThumbsU

Probably digs post holes and trenches too

Kind of like using a 10lb sledge to set finishing nails.
